Chelsea 2-2 Bournemouth: Reece James spares Blues' blushes as skipper nets stoppage time free-kick to salvage point - but poor run of form continues

With Chelsea losing 2-1 and a 25-yard free-kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time, we all thought Cole Palmer would take it.

But then, up stepped Reece James, club captain and saviour, as the substitute now free from injury struck the ball into the far corner and beyond Mark Travers to salvage a draw out of defeat.

Though Chelsea relied on this late leveller from their skipper, they left somewhat displeased. This was yet another game in which they created a silly number of chances and took none, Nicolas Jackson yet again a culprit.
